Hi folks

So, i got this new Dell laptop with Core2Duo, 2gig mem and the 7950gtx nvidia card. I install SH4 to try it out at max resolution (1920 x 1200) and it works without a problem and it looks amazing

Due to the partitioning of the HD (one huuuge C: and a tiny Recovery partition) i decided to reinstall Vista (and in the process remake the HD partitioning).
Everything looked ok EXCEPT, SH4 doesn't start anymore...
All other games (Oblivion, Civ4, Neverwinter... etc) loads and plays well but not SH4.

There is a short spin on the DVD and i get the "spinning DVD icon" on screen, then nothing. In the taskmanager i can see SH4 loading and use memory and CPU but the only thing i see on the screen is my desktop.

Any ideas what this can be?
I'm a total Vista-noob so please be gentle
